Simple.


Assuming the winter tire is the same overall diameter (IMO +/- 0.3") as the current tire on the car, toss one in the back as a spare. If you have a blowout/non-repairable flat, run the winter tire- then call ahead to a city you will be in 72hrs later and order the right tire.

Heck, if you have a jack and lug wrench, instead of waiting an hour for a truck and a tow, you can be on your way in 15 minutes. Stop for a meal in the next big city and drop the flat tire for repair. Remember, you drive 10 miles on a runflat, when all it needs is a simple patch, and you toss $350 away.
